[Nfb-krafters-korner] knitting ties

[Powers, Terry (NIH/NCI) [E]]

 If I had a cheap, man's tie, I do not think it would be all that hard to make a knitted one.  I sure never heard of a knitted one!  Do you think a man would really wear, one?  Were you thinking of just a pin on or actually an eye chord so it could be tied.

Someone asked me to knit him a tie.  It doesn't sound hard to me, but I think simply, lol. It is just a narrow scarf with increases for the front.
Sew it length wise press with the seem in the back and voila.  There are so many beautiful very fancy yarns out there made of so many wonderful silks and silk blends. 

But hand made knitted ties, very nice money maker for a skilled person, in my opinion.

Has anyone knit a tie? I hear it's very hard. I know someone with very fancy taste - he's a surgeon, and I thought it would make a very unique gift to knit him a very elegant tie, not that I would be the one to do it! The technique might be a big challenge, as well as working with very fine yarn, but at least the size would be manageable.
